Reasons to be Thankful

As we prepare for the annual Festival of Starch and tryptophan-induced food coma that is Thanksgiving, we've been pondering the things we're thankful for this season on FOX. Here's what's running through our heads as we count our blessings this year:
  • Our favorite animated families are still bringing the hilarity - even, in The Simpsons' case, after 20 years!
  • No matter what obstacles are thrown in his way, Michael Scofield always has a plan on Prison Break.
  • The fabulous relationships on Prison Break. There's the Michael and Sarah love story, of course, but there's also the bond between the brothers, and we still get sniffly when we remember Sucre praying for Michael's health!
  • Robots just keep getting sexier on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
  • Terminator keeps hitting us with new twists - Riley knows Jesse? Ellison is teaching ethics to a rebuilt Cromartie? What's going on?
  • That House remains one of the best shows on TV - AND that our doctors don't seem to be turning to House for hints on proper bedside manner!
  • Finding out Wilson has a dark side that involves jail time and stained glass windows
  • The House and Cuddy kiss!
  • Walter Noble on Fringe - we love his stream-of-consciousness food reports, his childlike glee at being out of the mental institution, his matter-of-fact grasp of things that make our head spin - and his frequent paeans to pharmaceuticals. That is one heavily medicated man!
  • Joshua Jackson is back on TV - and he's got such a juicy part on Fringe!
  • The continuing knee-buckling chemistry between Booth and Brennan on Bones.
  • That Brennan figured out that Jared was Booth-Light - and there's no substitute for Seeley!
  • Sweets!
  • That Gordon Ramsay is cleaning up the countries restaurants one expletive-laden rant at a time.
  • Jack Bauer is back - and we'll get Day 7 of 24 in January!
  • American Idol returns, and there's a new judge to mix up the dynamic. We can't wait to see how Kara DioGuardi shakes things up!

What about you? What makes your list of reasons to be thankful this year on FOX? Tell all in the comments!
